Seven11 Neutral Newbie January 31, 2002 Share January 31, 2002 Heard lotsa good things abt this tyre whose major strength is its quiet. Very imp to me. I am hunting for a quiet tyre as I like listening to classical music and I do not want my tyres to hinder the music entertainment. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider 3rd Gear January 31, 2002 Share January 31, 2002 Dun say until like that leh,.....since when got performance & refinement that goes together one ??? IMHO, the dB as I am using one (achem)..... Not a bad tyre if you ain't a hard driver. Even if you push the tyres hard enuff, you will love the progressive handling of this tyre. When the limits of the grip is breached, it will slowly losses it grip giving you ample warning to ease off....even when the grip is lost, a lift off the throttle is all it take to get the traction back. I have taken this tyre to 170kmh & still okay (but must say first har....suspension has been upgraded) If you drive at around 100-120kmh most of the time, you will not miss the traction. Cos at this speed, it still grips. But the warning is that.....wet weather it really sucks !! So when potting around in wet weather....advisable to slow down....unless you wanna powerslide like I did in Marina South !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 31, 2002 Share January 31, 2002 Ok lar, U win The Aspec db as reviewed by those I know is really throw in the trash type tire. Straight road at 100+ ok, but wat if cornering just at 80? Slip sliding away........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider 3rd Gear January 31, 2002 Share January 31, 2002 No no....not true...it depends on how sharp the corner is lah...if Marina South kind.....80 cannot but if its like my place AYE turning toward Clementi Ave 6......80 still boleh !! Tried at Costal Rd at the airport before.....110 !! Still can tahan.... What I am saying is...dun bring this tyre to PG....but for 90% of the road in SG....good enuff. Now if Yoko makes this tyre a bit grippy in the wet....I dun mind going for another set man !! Next change will go to the Toyo Guwns....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 31, 2002 Share January 31, 2002 R1R super sticky then Ur Vtec can stick on the spot and spin spin spin What do U think about the Yoko A539? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider 3rd Gear January 31, 2002 Share January 31, 2002 If my puny 130bhp can spin the R1R......either the tyre cannot make it or my engine damn happening !!!! Bwahahahahahahaha A539....the new comfort tyre.....tried that on a CRX....IMHO....quiet is okay...but maybe the dB would have a edge (can't tell cos the only professional equipment that I had on hand that day was my BUTT) but one thing that I dun like about the A539 is the softside walls.....wah lau...flex like mad sia.....makes a nice handler like the CRX feels like sampan !!

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 31, 2002 Share January 31, 2002 Allo! Pull handbrake and hit the gas, confirm front tire spin! Must review the GuWn once U get them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider 3rd Gear February 2, 2002 Share February 2, 2002 Ya ya....then you will realised that your handbrake cannot make it !!! I have faith in the Guwn man.....used to use Toyo but would love to try the SO2,SO3 series....heard that they are fantastic in the wet !! The tofu man is using the Guwn lah....that day was trying his car out powerslide at Railway Mall....scaring the sxxt outta the taxi who was beside me.....the tyre held on to the line & when the throttle was nailed it just screeched & took off again !! Grip for a street tyre of this standard cannot complain liao lah.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie February 2, 2002 Share February 2, 2002 Ok lah, GuWn can make it for Ah Gui! My Kum Kum Ho also pretty grippy and I'm damn satisfied with the wet grip, just as good as my previous Eagle F1 and less noisy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
